Arts & Culture

As I'm sure you have realised by now, Shoreham-By-Sea is host to a number of houseboats. There are a vast collection of different types, most of which have been converted individually by the occupants to make them house worthy. If you walk west past the glass-pannelled ferry bridge and stay on the road by the riverside, you can walk right along by these houseboats and witness the creativity of these dwellers!

The Marlipins museum hosts a selection of local historical artefacts and is definitely worth a check out if you are interested in Local History. The entrance is a little hard to find, but it is just to the right of the Marlipins pub which is much easier to find for some reason! http://www.friendsofmarlipins.org.uk/museum.html

Parks & Nature

Shoreham beach is literally 100m from Shieldsling by turning left at the end of 'Lower Beach Road'. This pebble beach is the same as Brighton Beach but without masses of people around you! This is a great Sea swimming spot as well as a place just to come and relax and catch a tan!
